Hello and welcome to this election in this election.
I'll be explaining what Ruby gems are.
What are Ruby gems.
Ruby gems basically is software that allows you to easily download install and use Ruby software packages
on your system.
There are tools software package is referred to as a germ.
A germ contains a package Ruby application or library.
Germs can be used to extend or modify the functionality in Ruby applications.
There are different types of germs available for different things.
You have got some that helps you perform or task that you perform repeatedly.
You had taken help you automate task and help you increase your productivity.
So let's go back to the German website so we can take a deeper look.
The offshore website for the jeptoo is known as Ruby James dot.
OK so for here you can find his store and publish gems so few know what gem you're looking for you can
just type.
You can type and search.
So for example if you are looking for a gem on C clock for example.
Just type in clock and do a search and Dager you because it tells you there is a gem there.
It works exactly less robust than the time object.
It tells you how many times is being downloaded.
If you know what you're looking for you can type that in and it will tell you more about the jam so
you can also click on the option here.
This is.
So if you want to look through all of them in for better call or that you will look to if you're not
sure what you're looking for.
And you've got time you could barmaid's and browse the gem library and see what they have available.
And there's usually a description on it.
The Jam tells you that it tells you this a simple cancellation of five intervals so they can help you
write applications much faster.
So if you want to know more about the germs few free their guides here you can go to and just read more
about it.
To install germs locally when you install Ruby Ruby also installs gems and it just install some basic
terms.
Doesn't give you everything.
Just some basic things too for you to get cracking with.
So to see the version of Ruby gems you've got this open up are common core programs good tody Ruby two
point forty four and click on start command prompt Ruby and you can just typing jentz
space.
That's the pointer.
Woops there should be an S issue of BHM space that the presenter tells me.
I got a version two point six point eleven so did germs are frequently of date so if you want to check
the latest Then you've got the latest update.
We can do a update to the best way to check that is to type in Gem.
Space update space dash that system and press enter.
And that shoe go to the gym server and pull down any latest updates.
The moment we had two point six point eleven that was installed where we installed Ruby.
So it looks like he's getting something we have got an update you can see here we've got point 12.
So the version has increased.
So was install in it now when doing the date.
You can also specify if you don't want any documentation installed at the moment is installing some
documentation.
So if you go to a gym of dash dash system.
It'll pull down the letters turn it also pull down took cementation file.
Most people don't always read took commentation so that my clog up your computer.
So the Journal has been updated.
Now it says Ruby consistent software update tests verified to check gas and press enter.
If you give me two point six point twelve.
So I have now got the latest gem software.
When I read my Chim update I didn't include the dash dash nor our dock dash.
Nor are I.
What that does it it just prevents the system from downloading documents.
You can see here it installs or Audrey took me.
So if you don't want to documents install just the software.
Then you can attach this to dash dash.
No that means you don't want any documents because sometimes most people don't read the documents anyway
so she won't exclude that also makes the update faster for.
If you don't do that he will download all documents relating to the software and that can take a bit
more time to download.
So just to our login or do I didn't use that.
I do use it in other stuff.
I've not used this with the update.
So my day took a bit longer than expected.
That's the reason why because I didn't include this so this commands also to go with the system update.
So that's it you should now have an updated version of Ruby gems.
Thanks for watching.
Bye for now.
